Review on Alessi MDL02 Pulcina Espresso Aluminum Kitchen & Dining by Charles Quinones

Best buy! Classic Italian design and a staple in any coffee lover's kitchen. Be careful and allow each piece to air dry to prevent mold or rust from forming. Do not use soap when cleaning, otherwise soap residue will get into the filter and take time to clear after several thorough rinses. Also remember that this coffee maker doesn't make any loud, distinctive noises when it's ready. So if you're in a different room, you might not hear any ads and only up close will you hear the coffee gurgling and rising when it's ready. The price is perfect. They are designed for a very long service life. The first one I owned lasted 10 years until I left the stove with coffee grounds in it. After that it was totally broken and I had to throw it away. Just don't repeat my mistake!
